Defining Social Justice
Adams, Bell and Griffin (1997) define social justice
as both a process and a goal. "The goal of social
justice education is full and equal participation of
all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to
meet their needs. Social justice includes a vision of
society that is equitable and all members are
physically and psychologically safe and secure."
